Commander Geinus running at about 1000 frames per second

Post by EquinoxBlue »

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice. I've installed Commander Genius and it is working, but it is running at about 1000 fps, and it makes the games unplayable. I've tried it with Keen 4 and Keen 1, and they're both the same.

I've looked in the CFG file and it's set to 60 fps, but it doesn't appear to be working.

Any advice?

I'm running this on a Windows 10 VM on a Macbook Pro (Parallels). Possibly the VM is the issue?

Try using Omnispeak and Chocolate Keen, which may help. Less features than Commander Genius but they are more stable and accurate to the original games.

Yes i think that the VM is the problem, so either get a cheap Windows laptop or use bootcamp on your Mac. If neither the just try Omnispeak and Chocolate Keen.

Isn't there a native Mac binary for CG?
